It's true that there is functionality in there which gives you more - access to records, owner details, detailed history etc, but really honestly for most investors, using zillow/redfin and working with a great agent is going to all you need.

Buy a functional but very dated "estate" type property do a mostly cosmetic rehab and resell. 

RTR has thousands of forum reviews on BP if you use the search function. 

@Nick CoplandHi Nick,I'll preface this with the fact that I am a long-term rental guy.. not Mid Term... but most still applies....I think the answer to your question is a function of your abilities and availability.

.- Is the layout functional?

Verify that the Hot Water Heater is functioning correctly and move on.This is the only way to be helpful and professional, stick to your lease.

I will also say, it provides a lot more functionality than just base prices (im sure other products do also). it can decrease prices as dates get closer to encourage bookings, minimum night bookings, increase prices when rentals in the area are booked.

Property overview (high level): Stand-alone commercial buildingLarger and more functional interior layout than the prior locationFully built-out commercial kitchen (hood, suppression, bar, etc.)Adjacent outdoor patio space already set up for dining (big upside)Comes with all FF&E includedNo residential component — pure commercial use  Deal structure (seller carry): Purchase price written at $1.2M~$1.0M attributed to real estate~$200k attributed to FF&E (included in the sale) Seller financing on $900kBuyer cash in at closing: ~$275kInterest-only period initially (no balloon language currently in the contract)Target hold: 5 years, then refinance into a 25-year commercial loan  Business context: The restaurant historically did ~$950k/year in revenueWe are owner-operatorsConservative projections show the business can remain profitable even with slower $1k days mixed inGoal is consistency, margin cleanup, and NOI growth — not aggressive expansion  What I’m hoping to get feedback on: Does this structure make sense from a commercial real estate perspective?

The lock is not functional, seems like they broke the lock.

The most accurate or cleanest method is one bank account per LLC, but that is tough if you are solo with 20 properties and do not have a full back office function for each.
